I went to the movies yesterday with a couple of girlfriends to see the movie "Blood Diamonds". I had seen it on Oprah the day before and thought this would be a good movie to see as they raved about how good it is.
I have never been effected by a movie like this one effected me. I will never buy a diamond again.
You know you see on the news little snippets on what goes on overseas, but this was so in your face and terrifying I don't want to give away about the movie in case anyone wants to go see it, but the story was fantastic and so touching about what this man went through for his family. This picture is from the movie and let me tell you we were all crying.
If you can please take the time to go see it, it is violent but well worth it for the story about the blood diamonds and how they sell the conflict diamonds.
Makes you appreciate what you have..........
